Thank you to everybody who has phoned, emailed, texted or contacted me online with kind words about my interview with Marian Finucane on Saturday about my late wife Anne Holliday, grief and atheism. It means a lot to me.

This was both the easiest interview I have done in a long time, because I didn’t have to consciously remember what I was talking about, and also one of the most emotionally intense. Thank you to RTE for inviting me to do it.
